What does the police statement say about the Micheal Ward charges?

According to Detective Superintendent Scott Ware, our expert officers are still assisting the woman who has stepped forward. We understand that reporting cases like these can be deeply affecting, so we’re doing everything we can to help her throughout our investigation.

Catherine Baccas, acting as deputy chief prosecutor for CPS London South, stated that after thoroughly examining an evidence file, the Crown Prosecution Service has given permission to the Metropolitan Police to bring charges against Michael Ward, aged 27, for two cases of rape, two instances of penetrative assault, and one count of sexual assault against a woman in January 2023.

Let me emphasize that the legal process ongoing against this individual is still active. It’s essential for everyone to remember his right to a just trial. To uphold this fairness, please avoid any online discussions, comments, or dissemination of information that may influence or potentially bias the outcome of these proceedings.

As reported by Deadline, it’s been confirmed that actor Ward is no longer represented by UK management agency Olivia Bell Management. A representative from the agency stated, “We no longer work with him.” His American agent remains CAA.

I’ve been fortunate to be a part of some incredible projects over the years. In 2016, it was Brotherhood, followed by Blue Story in 2019. Then came The Old Guard and Small Axes: Lovers Rock in 2020, Empire of Light in 2022, The Book of Clarence in 2023, and more recently, Bob Marley: One Love. Most recently, I had the privilege of working alongside Joaquin Phoenix, Pedro Pascal, and Emma Stone on Ari Aster’s Eddington.
